I’ll envy anyone who can finish this in 90 minutes. All the while a timer ticks down from an hour and a half, providing you a time to beat. Oh, and a glass wall that dangles a door to Antichamber’s end on the other side. What you’ll likeĪntichamber begins in the “start menu” with an ever-updating map of the world that fills in as players visit more areas basic controls and settings adjustment and a wall of all collected hints. I highly recommended that you don’t look up any hints or walkthroughs unless absolutely necessary as you explore Antichamber.

Not even a literal trail of breadcrumbs can save you in this digital wonderland/prison. Antichamber is a modern-day labyrinth, and Bruce has taken a step beyond Daedalus’ creation. Creator Alexander Bruce has built a masterpiece of a game that intentionally dismisses foundations of development like plot, characters, and linear gameplay.

And like a good book that leaves readers in a daze, Antichamber is about deep puzzles that are almost always solved by subtle solutions. Players learn new skills on each new level and earn an upgradeable tool for gathering and placing blocks, adding complexity to puzzles. The entire journey focuses on player discovery through exploration and sandbox experimentation.
